By your logic that’s not how it works. My opinions are irrelevant. Im sure you aren't going to take into consideration my thoughts ? So your question is of no revelance.  

Into ??

True but to get this far will have cost and I'm sure that they were well aware of what taking it further would cost. PCC never expect anyone to challenge their decisions and this is no different. I seem to recall liabilities in the event of a challenge being brought up at the appeals meeting. PCC haven't got a pot to pee in and they've just backed down on a challenge by a developer regarding a planning refusal. Panthers Forever can only challenge the process and not the decision but these council people are only human and it was done in such haste that I'd be pretty sure that they've cocked up somewhere. Whether that would be enough to bring the whole thing crashing down I don't know, but Bratters said all along that AEPG would have to speak to them at some point, and assuming the the EEAS don't throw them under a bus then he still may be right about that?  

After a long wait, the new James Bond has finally been revealed...

I think you should change your name in here.
